Compared with traditional multi-stage griding-magnetic separation with a Fe grade of 50% concentrate, there were significant improvements in Fe grade and Fe recovery. ...

Substantial germanium resources are available in other metal ores deposits in Alaska, Tennessee, and Washington. The owner of a zinc smelter in Clarksville, TN, planned to construct a new $90 million gallium and germanium processing plant at the site, the plant could recover an estimated 40 tons of germanium per year.

Introduction. Some metals and metalloids such as strontium (Sr), silver (Ag), tin (Sn), iron (Fe), tellurium (Te), gallium (Ga), germanium (Ge), barium (Ba) and vanadium (V) are naturally present in the environment, but their major sources are linked to pollution from industrial and human activities.
